How it feels

A tense, abstract duel of cunning where hidden information forces you to deduce your opponent's movements while protecting your own command ship.

What players say

Players compare Doomstar to Stratego in space, with hidden unit strength and simple combat. The single-player campaign is very short, around an hour, and many call it a tutorial. The game is designed for asynchronous multiplayer, but reviewers report that multiplayer is no longer active. The interface is functional but feels made for mobile rather than PC.
